Playin' In The Band
April 29, 1972
Musikhalle

A mysterious beauty. Understated, elegant, and crystal clear, but shredding and fun. A nice little gem.

Hard rocker. Great interplay and the band at the top of their '72 game. "No. 1 in Turlock, and that's a fact". - Bobby.

Uptempo, almost a shuffle, like the best of the '72s. High energy 1st set.

Powerful version with insane Phil muscular bass kicking into a sweet Wharf Rat. A gem of a show.

Let It Grow

Jai-Alai Fronton

Sneaks up calm then hits critical mass: Suddenly you are the blade of grass, the dew on the crops, the explosive heat of summertime. Love it.

It's everything that's been said and more: I'd add that the group vocals are 100% on, and Pigpen is in beautiful form . This is one to come back to a couple of times in a row, study a bit closer, strap on some headphones, and whooooooooooeeeeeeeee.

As always, trust gdtrfb Era Evangelist. This one is outrageous, and the tighten up jam is without peer, and may be the most expansive and cogent one I know. In some other ideal sphere, the perfect SBD exists, but until then, thanks once again Mr. Weinberg.

The AUD is a C- but the performance is A+

First and only time played before '72, before the release of the record. Heavy emotion here. Does anyone know the date of his father's death, for whom the song was written? It's quite a sweet performance, in spite of the C- sound quality of the tape, and beyond the historical importance of the song's debut.

Possibly the best harp solo on this song ever. Pigpen tears into it like he's got you just where he wants you. Hard rock stuff this.
